Laura Benson is an artist from Birmingham, Alabama with an interest in sacredness and ritualistic practices. She received her MFA in Painting & Drawing at the University of Colorado Boulder in Spring 2023. She received her BFA in Drawing at the University of Alabama in Birmingham in 2019. Benson’s practice is, at its core, an exploration into the creation of a personal mythology. This entails creating work across a variety of mediums including clay, collaged images and found objects, metal, fabric, printmaking methods and oil painting. It also includes a focus on storytelling, folklore and religious myth. She finds art making to be a valuable avenue for uncovering and exploring the mystical and mysterious aspects of the natural and supernatural world.
